Capture the Magic!

We will have proof that Santa was in our home! I am going to set up my camera Christmas Eve night, so we can catch Santa in action. Guess what? In the morning, he will have been here, and we will have the proof on camera! This is such a cute idea! I saw this onDesign Dazzle and had to share!! Thanks Toni!

Here's how it's going to go down...

Just before bedtime on Christmas Eve - have your kids help you set up your camera on a tripod or on a desk/counter. Mention to your kids if Santa appears the camera will automatically take his picture. Of course, if your child still believes...this will be easy to pass off. After the kids are sleeping, take the photo you really want to use and upload it to the company's website. Make sure to delete the camera image - just in case your child looks at the camera (you don't want an image of your family room on the camera without Santa in the pic). This site has several great features on this website - you can resize Santa, brighten, contrast, etc to make it look like he is really in your home. Print out the picture and show your family the next morning...what an awesome surprise. I wish my kids were young enough to pull this off. For $9.95 you're able to do 3 different pictures. The account set-up will expire in one year - create 1 or 2 pictures this year and another next year. Great deal!
